Pub­lic save Sun­shine

A LO­CAL girl has been saved by the Bri­tish pub­lic from a hu­mil­i­at­ing first week evic­tion from the Big Brother house.

For­mer King’s School pupil Yvette ‘Sun­shine’ Mar­tyn (24), now a medicine stu­dent at Le­ices­ter Uni­ver­sity, had been se­lected as one of the three least pop­u­lar house­mates by her fel­low con­tes­tants.

De­spite strong jeers of “get sun­shine out” from the crowd out­side the house for the evic­tion show, the nation spared Sun­shine in the pub­lic vote.

She and fel­low house­mate Shabby were pre­ferred to Bey­once looka­like Rachael, who be­came the first con­tes­tant to be thrown out of the house.

It means Sun­shine, whose dad lives in Wans­ford, still has a chance of be­ing crowned the last ever win­ner of the cult tele­vi­sion show when the fi­nal se­ries fin­ishes in Septem­ber.

This se­ries’ win­ner will join pre­vi­ous no­table con­tes­tants to de­ter­mine the ul­ti­mate Big Brother cham­pion in a two-week spe­cial to mark the show’s de­par­ture.

To see how Sun­shine cel­e­brated her sur­vival in the house tune in to Big Brother on Chan­nel 4 from 9pm tonight.
